CSI Focus Imaging

Dear Colleagues,

A variety of catheter-based treatment options have become available in the last decade revolutionizing the management of congenital, structural and valvar heart disease. Successful planning, performance and aftercare of cardiac interventions depend heavily on accurate imaging. Intraprocedural guidance can be facilitated by established imaging modalities such as transesophageal 2-D and 3-D echocardiography and by novel techniques including echo-fluoro overlay and 3-D modeling / printing. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are particularly helpful for precise preprocedural morphology assessment and device sizing and new imaging tools such as holography are on the horizon.

In this context, the CSI Focus Workshop IMAGING, June 27, 2018 in Frankfurt, Germany is designed specifically to provide physicians involved in congenital, structural and valvar cardiac interventions with the necessary imaging tools for safe and effective procedural performance. Furthermore, it familiarizes attendees with imaging techniques that are on the horizon but not yet used in routine clinical practice.

The CSI Focus Workshop Imaging is one-of-a-kind and a natural complement to CSI, the leading congress on congenital, structural and valvular interventions. Lectures by experts in the field will be complemented by live transmissions to illustrate basic and advanced concepts of imaging for structural heart disease interventions.

We look forward to seeing you at CSI Focus Imaging 2018 in Frankfurt on June 27, and hope you will stay on for the flagship conference CSI 2018 from June 27-30!

This meeting will be organised by the CSI Foundation, a not-for-profit organization formed to aid the development of structural,
congenital and valvar heart interventions worldwide. CSI Foundation members will receive discounted entry to this event. For more information, please visit the CSI Foundation webpage
